just saw this on craigslist. would be a great deal for someone that is trying to save a little while still getting awsome sound quality
-
i dont see why you would have the stock pulley on there. companies that make h/0 alts would put a slightly smaller pulley on there for no reason.
-
go to local car shows and ask the people around there. if they want it give it.

those grills look great. did you use gutter guard? looks just like the gutter gaurd i used to make myself a custom upper and lower grill.
just some grill mesh i had around the shop for about 5 years. I guess you could use it as a gutter guard if you wanted to. thanks!
home depot sell that same mesh in about 6"x3foot peices with hinges that attach to gutters lol. made myself custom grills with it for less then $6 painted it black to.

well im just saying that if your willing to download music with questionable quality dont complain about it. free stuff comes at a price. the music might be free but is it worth the quality? i wouldnt say so.
i work for and pay for everything i have and ive been doing so since i was 16. i struggle from day to day to make it but i wont except handouts. not even free music if the quality is questionable. if its putting a freinds cd on my computer sure no proplem but downloading it from questionable sites or questionalbe quality i'll pass.

Those 3000d's ya?
some one knows there sundowns
-
here is an idea, if worried about quality why not go to the store and buy cd's? or itunes? most songs on itunes go for around $.89-$1.xx? never seen a song on itunes for over 1.50. its not like a $1 will make you or break you. you can find that in change digging through your car or laundry. hell maybe even enough change to buy 3 or 4 songs.

^^ still not fixed. and did you wirte inside of the quote? if so i proclaim it a triple fail in a single post. didnt fix/explain either post you made so thats 2 and you wrote inside the qoute that makes 3. maybe we should add a 4th fail for the lack of thinking before posting any of the three posts?

well if your wanting a screen then maybe it was just the deck saying get a damn touchscreen already im tired of the bass rattling my insides. lol

saw a pioneer 880prs in the for sale section. sorry to hear about that deck fire though.

do they make a belt dressing for serpentine belts?
a belt dressing wont realy help much if any. the most you can realy do is make sure all your other pulleys are moving smoothly and that the belt has enough tension on it. maybe try to get ligter weight pulleys to take some extra strain of the engine and maybe adjust the idle to be 50-200rpms higher. from my understanding a high output alt will only create enough drag on the engine to where you lose 1-5hp which you wont notice at the wheels. light weight pulleys can gain you that much right back and like i said you wont notice that difference but it could make a small difference in the output of the alternator. that combined with 50-200rpm higher at an idle should take care of the proplem i personaly wouldnt adjust the rpms any higher then 950-1000 at an idle though.
thats just my thoughts on the proplem though. lowering the strain on the engine and uping the performance a little can make a slight difference since the engine would be able to spin the alt better.

i have some issues with low voltage with my singer amp but it was fine when i first put it in. the belt is slipping now because i need to replace my tensioner pulley, belt is brand new. make sure your belt is nice and snug.

like i was saying, first do the big 3, then upgrade the battery under the hood and add a second battery to the back, 2 runs of power and ground from front to back battery. there is about 600-700 there. then build the box 2 15s will fit a lot better then 2 18s, 18s will be hard to fit in there and still have room for the amp(s) and battery bank. i would do 2 15s. so if you build for 2 15s double maybe even triple up on the walls and then go 3-4layers on the baffle. then make sure its nicely braced threaded rod is a good choice for bracing doesnt take up any real amount of volume from the box and not to spendy. then if you have enough left get 2 15s and a 2000-3000 watt amp and run it like that just watch your voltage. now all that wont get you to your goal but will give you a great start. at that point you buy an ho alt, the biggest you can fit. then load that trunk up with a battery bank. after you get the electrical worked out to handle the 5k-7k im you will need in order to reach your goal you can get 2 15s that can handle the power and the amp(s) you need to get that 5000-7000watts. then tear those doors about fiberglass them to fit some nice componet sets and work on your sound stage.
step 1 upgrade electrical to handle 2k rms
step 2 build your wall
step 3 buy cheap used subs and amp(s) that do about 2k rms
step 4 save money
step 5 build electrical to handle 5k-7k rms
step 6 buy subs that can handle 5k-7krms
step 7 buy amp(s) that do 5k-7k rms
step 8 save money
step 9 upgrade front sound stage
step 10 give out FREE demos. dont charge like the other idiots.

2000 is a little low for a wall build. i mean your looking at a good 600-800 in electrical upgrades and then you will need a battery bank to fit the bill of how much power you will run.
2000 is a great start though, build a strong box for 2 15 or 2 18s, pick up 2 cheaper subs and an amp to match. a ho alt battery under the hood and a secondary battery in the trunk. watch the forsale thread for good deals. figure out where you want to be at in the end, what subs how much power and what score. then set a plan. i would start with first building a stong enough wall enclosure so htat you only have to do it once. buy used subs and amp(s). upgraded battery under the hood and an ho alt if you can but atleast the big 3. then if you dont get the ho alt i would do that first, after the ho alt work on a bigger battery bank to fit the final goal. then get the amp(s) then subs. you should atleast try to sound deaden where the wall will be so that you can atleast have it done before the wall is in or else you just might not ever do it with out tearing the wall apart.
in no way am i saying it cant be done with a $2000 budget but it wont be easy. im sure most people on here running walls have spent a good 5-6k on them plus there front sound stage.

since the truck is brand new and it should only be swirl marks, i would say take it to a dealership and have them take car of it. i would imagine it to only take 200-350 or if you can find a good detail shop or even some body shops they might do it for cheaper then a dealership. no need to wet sand it as wetsanding it will only get down to the clear coat or worse if your not carefull. wetsanding is more of something for deeper scratches/swirl marks. just get it buffed out any detail shop, body shop, or dealership can do it. if your lucky the dealer you got it from might be nice enough to do it for free even cant hurt to ask them.

i vote for the bedliner. easy and quick. seals it up good. keep the inside of the port smooth though. sand it down and paint it with some spray paint. the smoother the port the better the airflow.

the pioneer deh80prs, its my next bigger purchase for the car.
sonicelectronis doesnt show it on their website but crutchfield has a great price, its a lot of head unit for the money.

a quick google search. darker paint is harder to take care of, shows the emperfections more.
second video is more helpfull
-
^ exactly my point.
-
Still, why weigh down the car? Why not a nice light weight enclosure in the trunk, a few 8s maybe?
with hp he can put out with that engine i dont think weight is much of an issue. besides that, there are ways to build a big system in any car and the car still be able to b put back to stock with no sign of it being altered for a big system. just takes time and hard work

op, you are the biggest failure. good bye

well, if you look at his post/topics he has/had a vs thread might have been locked already.

why dont you contact RD audio? You know they mihgt have some info on it.
what?! why would the people that made the subwoofer have the info? thats just crazy, i mean i never would have looked in the manual that came with the subs i have. i just figured companies sold equipment and left it to us to test them and teach others and provide the info on their equipment. you know, i was taught something about this thing called google.com where you can type in stuff and it gives you info about it but i think it works better when you know how to spell.

I got the SKURVY today! KASPERSKY FTMFW - (portable hard drive "shortcut" virus)

from what i was told is that kaspersky was created by one of the makers of norton and that he ( kaspersky) decided to make his own program because he didnt like how norton could/would slow computers performance down. the program is suppose to be just as good or better then norton and not slow it down. i have it, waiting for another month for my free norton to end then im putting the kasperky on the computer.
